Windows screenshots

thumbnail — The game starts with the player entering their id. It runs in a small area of the screen like this or there is a 'Fill Screen' option that is accessed from the menu bar

thumbnail — Once logged in the game expects the player to choose their game

thumbnail — The Customise option in the top left of the main menu screen allows the player to change the controls, background, and even add a photo of their choice to represent their opponent

thumbnail — Delving a little further into the game's controls. There are thirty different backgrounds, 25 different types of card back, and four different styles of card face to choose from

thumbnail — Playing Backgammon. This screen is displayed at the start of every game, unless the player elects to suppress it. It allows customisation of the backgammon game, access to rules etc

thumbnail — The start of the game. Playing against Roswell, a friendly alien.

thumbnail — Roswell's made his move first. This is Moby's turn and a double has been thrown. The player's dice are tossed by double clicking on the dice case on the right

thumbnail — When a counter is selected the game shows exactly where it can be moved to. This is an option that can be disabled. Counters are moved by dragging 'n dropping them.

thumbnail — Every now and then Roswell's eyes will flash, or he/she will wave their arms. Occasionally he/she will claim to have Elvis!

thumbnail — Moby is just about to win the game

thumbnail — Game over!

thumbnail — After the game the current stats are displayed. After this the game is automatically set up for another match

thumbnail — Starting Cribbage. As with Backgammon the game commences by explaining the rules

thumbnail — So the computer opponent has been selected and the cards have been dealt. The first move is to place two discards into the crib

thumbnail — Moby's discards have been made. Jasper's were made first and show face down beneath the crib

thumbnail — This is the 'pegging' part of the game. As each round is completed the game clearly states who has won what points

thumbnail — A good feature of this game is that it clearly shows not just the total point score per hand but how that score was achieved.

thumbnail — Jasper scored highly and his pegs are moved round the board showing he has an early lead.

thumbnail — The end of the game. No big 'Celebration' screen in in Cribbage, just the player stats

thumbnail — In addition to the instructions at the start of the game there are comprehensive instructions available during the game
